The iris sphincter in Sakaki's eye shrinks violently!

Pistol?

Or the famous Colt M1911A1?

It's a classic of classics.....

Designed by John Browning, .45 caliber; Uses 11.43mm ammunition..... Much more powerful than a 9mm pistol ....

Hit head-on by Colt, if it is the main torso, in most cases, the morgue can be escorted, and the ambulance is spared.

And Colt is best known for its human body inhibition.

Although the muzzle velocity is only 246 m/s, the .45 bullet pursues penetration and long-range fire.

This is the real killer.

Power is its strength, and the recoil and reload count are its minor flaws.

The strong recoil makes it only accessible to trained soldiers, but the 7+1 reload becomes a hard hit.

If you are fast enough, you can shoot a magazine in two seconds.

Sakaki swallowed.

Because he turned out two extended magazines from the bottom of the iron box, which could hold three more rounds.

How could the original have a pistol?

It is said that the control of guns is strict, and ordinary people can't buy guns at all.

Obviously, the original body doesn't look like a person with a gun license......

Illegal possession?

No, it's not.

According to the results of his own profile, the original body should not have used these two pistols.

But these two Colts are very well maintained, and the sparse scratches on them indicate that they are some years old.

Maybe it's older than me.....

Touching the smooth palm wood grip, Sakaki aimed it at his temple, then ......

Click!

The firing pin was fired, but no bullets were fired.

When Sakaki Makoto checked just now, he found that there were no bullets in the gun, including in the iron box.

The possibility of two empty pistols and no bullets was too low, and he leaned down, reached inside the drawer, and quickly pulled out a box of brass bullets.

Looking at the slow box of .45 large-caliber pistol bullets, the corners of Sakaki's mouth twitched twice.

Okay, guns and bullets, the evidence is ironclad, if you don't go in and eat a prison meal for a year and a half, you will never believe it.

Just as he was about to hide the pistol again, he suddenly found the badge on the grip.

An eagle? Wrong....

Like a resting crow?

Because the gun was used too many times, the badge marks on the palm wood grip were a little weak, and Sakaki Makoto couldn't see it very clearly.

But I could still make out that it was a bird.

Family coat of arms?

There should be more clues.....

Sakaki looked around with a pistol, but found no more information.

Except for the two crow badges, these two Colts are no different from ordinary pistols, and if anything, they can only be very well maintained, just like new guns.

Placing the pistol back in the box and closing the lid, Sakaki reached for the brass bullet, intending to put it back in the drawer.

Whoa.....

Just as he picked up the carton full of bullets, the carton eroded by the years could no longer bear the weight of the bullets and shattered all at once.

The brass bullet fell to the ground, and Sakaki hurriedly leaned over to pick it up.

A... Two pieces....

He picked up a bullet with letters engraved on it.

R, a capital letter R.

How can there be letters on a bullet?

Certainly not R15, R18 or anything like that.....

Some people would engrave their family crest or other signs, but they were all uniformly made, and the letters on this bullet were crooked, apparently carved by hand, little by little.

Could it be revenge?

Sakaki knew that in some regions, one of the customs was to engrave the name of the enemy on the bullet and then use the bullet to kill the enemy as a sign of revenge.

Sakaki looked at the picture frame on the table again.

He was vaguely aware that this seemed to be a reference to a story from a long time ago.

With the current clues, it is impossible to solve the meaning of the R letter, so Sakaki had to put the bullet and gun back in their place, and added a lock to the drawer by the way.

This thing, if it is discovered by others, is not a joke.....

There was more than one drawer, and after Sakaki closed the first drawer, he opened the second layer.

He was surprised by the fact that there was a diploma from Waseda University's Faculty of Letters.

I can't see that the original body is still a high-achieving student.

Haruki Murakami and Edogawa Ranbu graduated from the Faculty of Literature of Waseda University.

is closer to reality, as well as Ai Fukuhara, Masato Sakai who starred in "Naoki Hanzawa", and so on.

Although Waseda is not as large as the national Todai, it is one of the best private universities.

If you have such a diploma, why do you want to write novels at home?

Isn't it nice to go out and get a job?

At least not to this extent......

Sakaki Cheng sighed, a little sad that the rabbit died and the fox died, and he was burdened with a debt of 50 million, which was still due to the original body.

If you don't work hard to make money, I'm afraid you'll have to go fishing.....

Open the third drawer, which is full of cut newspapers, which is dazzling.

What car bombing, innocent building fire, a scientist publishes a paper on the reversibility of life......

It's a mess, and it's completely untouchable.

Dates vary, with newspapers dating from 1952 to the December bombings as latest.....

The time span is huge, a full 43 years.

The clues and events in the newspapers are intermittent, and it is difficult to associate them together, and Sakaki Makoto doesn't know why the original body collected such a pile of newspapers.

At the bottom of the newspaper, a piece of white paper, half-burned by the fire, somewhat yellowed, caught his eye.

"When the red water comes out of the crow's nest, dyes the moon red, and finally falls into the abyss....."

"It's ...... Signal? ”

Sakakikoto's frowning muscles contracted, a little inexplicably.

This is undoubtedly a code word, which should be trying to convey something.

The handwriting on it is exactly the same as the Kanagawa character behind the frame, so it's not hard to guess that it was done by the same person.

Could it be that it was left by the original father?

There was only one sentence on the paper, and the rest of the words had already been burned, and there was no hint at all.

Sakaki suddenly remembered that on the pistols in the first drawer, there were two crow badges.

The crow is also mentioned in the code, could it be that there is some connection between the two, or what person, family, or organization is implying in it?

Reaching into his arms, Sakaki subconsciously wanted to take out his mobile phone to check the mark of the crow.

Nothing was touched.

Only then did he remember that it was 1996, and the mobile phone had not yet reached the point where it could access the Internet, and if he wanted to access the Internet, he could only use the computer.

Well, depending on the conditions in this house, there are a lot of books, and computers are impossible.

Sakaki put the newspaper and cipher paper back, closed the drawer, and sat down at the table in a daze.

He was wondering what kind of person the original body was, and how could there be so many inexplicable things at home.

As a mystery novelist, it's normal to collect cases, but it's not normal to have a gun.

Do you want to learn from a certain genius, but because you are caught in academic difficulties, you want to swallow a gun and commit suicide?

Then you don't have to swallow two handfuls!

Is the mouth so big?

Gollum....

Sakaki Makoto was excited, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't eaten for a long time.

The imminent pain of hunger made his stomach cramp, as if urging him to eat quickly.

I got up and went to the living room, opened the refrigerator, and there were a lot of things in it, milk, milk, milk.

it!

Isn't there anything else but milk?!

Sakaki closed the refrigerator with a sigh of relief.

You're a cow and drink milk all the time!

Oh no, cows eat grass.....

Sakaki Makoto rubbed his eyebrows, the drop in blood sugar in his body made him irritable, and he wanted to take a bite of everything.

In short, it's hungry and green-eyed.

Drinking cold milk on an empty stomach can cause gastrointestinal discomfort, diarrhea and other conditions, and milk is not hungry.

After rummaging through the bottom at home, and not even finding a bucket of instant noodles, Sakaki Makoto was completely desperate.

I had no choice but to use that poor wallet.

Either your wallet is hungry, or you are hungry yourself.

There was no need to choose, Sakaki picked up his wallet and went out.
